I believe the DNA Analysis machine is ready. At least to the perimeters you gave me earlier. I would have given it to you earlier, but due to some losses and being sent home, it's taken me longer than expected.

[End of Filter]

Being back here is unsettling, and I've already finished a project. Mr. Moriarty, you mentioned a radiation scanner. I don't know if anyone needs any equipment. I'm quite capable. I've built several machines in the clinic. Mr. Holmes and Dr. House can attest to it.

I'm a fast learner and nothing can best me.

I need something to do. [More than anyone knows.]

Thank you.

A-Ah, Violet! Are you all right?!

[Someone had been worried when she vanished.]

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

I went home. I'm back.

You've built medical equipment, you say? And you want to build more equipment?

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

Yes. All of the microscopes in the clinic as well as the x-ray machine were built by me. I also just built a DNA analysis machine for Dr. House. And back where I'm from they didn't even know about DNA, yet. Not until the 1950's.

Building is what I do, sir.

[ Have... extremely detailed blueprints put on the journal. Several types of holographic projectors and sensors for movement integrated into them. ]

How quickly could you make these?

dictated

[starhipped]

You went .. home.

[Give her a second to absorb it.]

Still, you never said - are you all right?

[After several moments.]

Perhaps I should come to you. It shouldn't take too long, but I need to know what tech I'm working with.

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

I did. For several weeks.

[A pause.]

I've been through worse.

dictated

[starhipped]

[She's almost afraid to ask.]

Do you want to talk about it?

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

Not really. I just want to work.

dictated

[starhipped]

I see. Well, I don't have any work for you to do but .. ah, where will you be working?

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

My room.

dictated

[starhipped]

If you want .. maybe I could come visit? I'll bring you something to eat! It's important you take care of yourself..

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

I'm not really hungry. Barely eating on a deserted island does that to a person.

dictated

[starhipped]

Ah.. I see. Maybe later, then. Or another time.

[After coming back, she was more or less in a slump. She only wanted to be focused on something to not think of everything she's left again.]

Maybe. Thank you, Esther.

[ His voice is rough when he speaks. Had it been anyone else for anything else, he would have ignored it. But he needs that machine. He swallows the pain and anxiety long enough to answer. ]

Glad to hear it. I'll have my assistant get it for me. Where do you have it?

dictated

[starhipped]

Mm! Of course. If you need anything, please let me know!

dictated

[signedlefthanded]

I will.

Dr. House

[signedlefthanded]

I can have it brought to the clinic. Easier that way.

Violet

[atrophied]

Great. You saw where the lab is?

dictated / filtered

[builds]

All right, then. Stark Tower, top floor.

[signedlefthanded]

Where is Stark Tower?

dictated / filtered

[builds]

Used to be called Impetus Tower.

dictated / filtered

[signedlefthanded]

I didn't know you could just change the name of a tower.

I'll be over in five minutes.
